👨‍👦💔 When he was just 14 years old, he lost his father—and with him, the guidance every young boy needs growing up. Years later, instead of letting that pain define him, he decided to turn it into something beautiful.

He created a YouTube channel called “Dad, How Do I?”, where he teaches basic life skills that many kids without fathers never get the chance to learn. From how to tie a tie, change a tire, fix a leaky faucet, or even shave properly, his videos have become a source of comfort and knowledge for millions around the world.

But it’s not just about the skills—it’s the kindness, patience, and fatherly presence he brings to every video. For children and young adults who grew up without a dad, he’s become a virtual father figure, reminding them they’re not alone. 🌎❤️

His story shows that even the deepest loss can be turned into a gift that helps others. Sometimes, healing yourself means helping others heal too.
